Create A Generational Love Cycle With Timika S Chambers

In this episode, I share my story about a planted seed that influenced my health. When I realized that I didn't need to struggle with a certain aspect of my health, my life changed for the better and so now I am helping my children to address health in a life-sustaining way. I share questions you can ask yourself to help break the generational cycle of pain of how we think about disease and illness.

In addition, here is the li...

Millions of people struggle with achieving and maintaining optimal weight. As caregivers and parents, we can encourage our children to listen to their bodies to help them consume the right balance, moderation, and variety of foods. And as we teach our children about healthy nutrition, we reinforce the concepts within ourselves.

Even when you think about the principle Hara hachi bu (residents of Okinawa, Japan, 80/20 eating rul...

In Healing from the Inside Out Series #5: Trust Yourself, I share how trust is critical in overcoming darkness. The more we build our trust in ourselves, the more we can help future generations do the same. When we trust ourselves, we speak up for ourselves and others. We see different paths instead of feeling stuck. We increase our chances of doing the right thing at the right time and often avoid more severe conseque...

In The Seeds We Plant Series #34, I share my thoughts on how our relationships can affect our self-worth and how critical it is that we choose relationships that edify us and help our children do the same through role modeling,

When we remove guilt from our inner garden, our Healing from the Inside Out Series #4: Removing Guilt Weeds, I discuss guilt and how we must assess our inner garden for this often debilitating and life-draining state. Guilt is not an emotion/feeling we must live with for a lifetime; it doesn't describe who we are. Our spiritual fruit has a better chance of yielding the harvest we need.

Shame is another powerful emotion that lets you know you have veered off the path of your truth. Like fear, it can cloud your vision if you allow it to grow inside you. You have the power to release shame and prevent its nutrition-robbing abilities. It may look like it belongs to you, but it doesn't. See shame for what it is and refuse to allow it to grow inside of you.

Regarding projected pain, it is better to give back than receive. When you experience anger, jealousy, shame, guilt, and the like, or when your emotions and feelings go to another level (e.g., blaming, badgering yourself and others in thoughts and words, and unwelcome or unhealthy physical contact), you continually grow the seeds inside you. 

We can return angry, hateful, divisive, and demoralizing actions and words to their rightf...

Our perspective about a life event often shows us our underlying beliefs about ourselves, others, and life. As students of life, we can look at our experience with an awakening. Every life event serves a divine purpose. Each experience is an opportunity to replant the spiritual seeds (kindness, joy, love, and the like) inside us instead of allowing weeds (harmful/unhealthy thoughts) to rob us of an abundant life. In episo...

Fuel is the mental nourishment (self-talk), rest, activities, and who and what we believe in that will affect how we respond to events and ultimately teach our children. Providing the right type of nourishment is essential to a smooth-running body. Every aspect of our health (emotional, financial, mental, physical, social, and spiritual) impacts others. For example, how we care for ourselves physically depends heavily on what we t...

Emotions and feelings are data to let us know our path. They can lead us down through dark tunnels and dead ends or to a spiritually enlightened path. But, it is through our emotions and feelings that we can remember who we are. We can see the divine spirit that we are, life's meaning, and purpose. It isn't the experience that we need to focus on. Nor is it people. But it is that which is inside us--what we allow to inhabi...

In this podcast, I discuss how our environment can help shape us, but ultimately, we choose the thoughts and, therefore, the life we want. At any time, we can break the generational cycle of pain by examining our thoughts, picking out the weeds (unhealthy thoughts), and nourishing the spiritual seeds within us.

Respect doesn't look to be liked. Respect comes with a conviction of being yourself regardless of what others do.

In this episode, I share my thoughts on how we can use our tongues to continue or break the cycle of pain. Sometimes, through sharing our pain (e.g., insecurities, doubts, fears, and the like) with our children, we don't realize the negative impact it can have on their mindset and actions. In addition, I share how we can break the cycle of pain through consciousness, the ultimate way of creating a generational cycle of love....

In this episode, I share my first time realizing how powerful seeds are. Cultivating life-giving seeds is an opportunity that all parents have and is a means of breaking the generational cycle of pain. We must transmute our pain into light to help us and our children see clearly. They are not their experiences or victims of their emotions and feelings.

As always, let me know your thoughts and share this podcast with others.

We would avoid a lot of anxiety, anger, disappointments, frustration, guilt, shame, violence, vengeance, and the like if we gave and expected nothing in return. The heart is the center of our actions; to preserve it, we must not allow strings of destruction to attach to it, for out of the heart flows the issues of life (acceptance, forgiveness, joy, and homicidal and suicidal thoughts). When we give from the heart, we open our...
